When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric or bulges indicating internal damage
●
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus dealer.
■
Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered,
the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for about 20
minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute to indi-
cate a system malfunction.
■
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if they
have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
■
If the tread wears down 0.16 in. (4 mm) or more on snow tires
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.
